Her lavender scent floated around me as she shook her head. “It wasn’t you. Any of you. It was the alcohol. It made me feel how I did with him. Out of control.”

My hands moved to her face, grasping her cheeks and tilting her face back. I looked into those wounded green eyes and my heart twisted. She didn’t know yet. How she had control. How everything we did was for her.

“You can make us stop with one word. A word and all of it ends.” I stroked my thumbs along her skin, letting her softness seep into me. “You have the power to crush us in a single breath. That’s the ultimate control.”

I could see she didn’t believe me. Still didn’t understand. Those beautiful eyes doubted how strong she was. In a short time, she’d turned us upside down. Made us hers.

“You have no idea what we’d do for you. How much you matter to us.” She tilted her head into my palm like she was trying to hide from what I said. “We’d never hurt you.”

“I know.” Her breath ghosted across my skin.

“We’re together. It’s our job to take care of you.”

“I know.” She nodded, but her gaze didn’t meet mine.

My hand shifted, grasping her neck. Her pulse slammed into my fingers as I forced her eyes to me. “I don’t think you do. But you will.”

She gasped as I gripped her hips, flipping her around until her back smashed into my chest. She was still wearing the shirts she liked to sleep in, one of ours. It rode up, exposing her thigh as I guided her forward.

She stumbled towards the weight benches. When we reached it, I shoved one hand between her shoulders, yanking her hip back with the other until she was bent over. Her palms slapped the vinyl as she held herself up for support.

I wasn’t gentle. I couldn’t be right now. She needed to learn her lesson, and I needed this release. But the safe word would never change. She could end this all if she wanted to.

She didn’t protest as I lifted her shirt until the only thing covering her were thin cotton panties. The fabric was almost sheer where it stretched over her round ass. My already hard cock twitched as I took a moment to admire her bent over and on display for me.

I slipped a finger into the edge of her panties, tracing them. She was warm and willing under my touch. “You remember your safe word?”

“Yes.” Her voice wavered, but she didn’t move. I could sense her anticipation in the stillness of her body. As if she was afraid I would stop if she flinched.

“Tell me.” I wanted to be absolutely sure before we started.

“Red.”

“Good.” Goosebumps broke out along her legs as I continued to outline her plump ass. “You took away our chance to care for you last night. This only works if you’re honest with us.”

Was I being hypocritical? Yes. But our lies protected her. Her denial put her in danger. We could’ve kept going. We could’ve hurt her. Rage filled my veins at the thought.

She needed to know she couldn’t do that again. She’d agreed to relinquish control to us, but she was still resisting it. Not anymore. After this, she would understand.

“I’m going to give you five.”

“Five what?”

“Count them.”

Her smooth, creamy skin came into view as I pushed aside her panties. One perfect cheek just begging for my mark. My lesson.

My hand came down firm. The slap echoed in the empty space around us. Her entire body went rigid. Her spine snapped straight. Her knees locked.

My cock jerked in my shorts at her response. Fire singed my blood as I stared at her skin, tinting red. A perfect print of my palm bloomed on her ass.

I watched her ribs expanded with a bated breath before she exhaled. “One.”

“Good.” That was all the praise I gave her before I spanked the same spot again. My cock pulsed as her flesh turned a deeper shade of red. Watching it was addicting.

She didn’t pause this time. “Two.”

My gaze flicked up, watching her expression in the mirror. Her eyes were wide, like she couldn’t believe she was letting this happen. As if she was surprised how much she liked it. A blush crept down her delicate neck. Her teeth sank into her lower lip as if she was holding in her moans.
